I don’t know how you are feeling, these days, but I often find myself thinking of the apocalypse, the end of everything. In that spirit, I’ve been collecting a bunch of nice little spot illustrations placed on the last page of many books, often with the words The End close by. I see them as a friendly farewell from the illustrator. Here are some. I might add more as I find them.
Hendrik van Loon; Lothar Meggendorfer; Franz Masereel.
Leo Longanesi; ditto; H. A. Rey.
Jean de Bosschère; Yambo; Anonymous.
